overfilling your stomach with anything makes you tired and sleepy as so much of your bodies resources (blood supply etc) is needed to digest it
fruit and vegetables are better than protein and carbs

I always feel sleepy after large meals. That's just normal. Carbs are an energy source.

both can make you tired and lethargic after feeding.
high carb meals low in either protein and/or fats cause insulin levels to spike which causes low blood sugar (like after eating a big bowl of pasta with nothing else except sauce).
meals that are generally just too high in calories will do the same thing

I think you have you carbs mest up my friend, carbs give you lot's of energy but if you don't use the carbs for the energy it will turn into fat. Foods that dont make you feel sleepy would be like chicken, eggs, beans, tuna fish. stuff like that, Dont fill your self till it hurts you stomach that will make you feel sleepy.
